Academic Integrity

Academic integrity applies not only to academic activities on campus but also to a student’s participation and behavior in the co-op employment process, as well as during the co-op work term.

During co-op, a student is required to comply with Mohawk College’s Student Behaviour Policy.

In addition to the possible consequences outlined in the Academic Integrity and Student Behavior Policy, if a student fails to comply with the above policies they risk:

• Receiving an FL (failure) for their co-op work term
• Being blocked from applying to co-op positions for the co-op work term and/or subsequent co-op work terms.

Falsification of Documents and Credentials

Mohawk College’s Academic Integrity Policy applies to Co-operative Education students. Fabrication of documents and credentials will result in disciplinary action.  

Examples can include but are not limited to:

• Altering information contained on academic transcripts, work history, co-op employer evaluations, or any other Mohawk College-issued document.
• Making false claims or statements on a resume or any other document contained in a co-op application package.
• Falsifying co-op work permits and/or medical documentation.
